I’ve had a good week overall. I think I left off at Tuesday. Today is the King’s Birthday holiday. Can’t get used to the “king”. I forget at times the Queen is gone.

I was ready to go to my training session Wednesday but she had to cancel.So I stayed in and caught up on my reading of The Sea,The Sea. i was going to mention Charles again but found this lovely quote online under People also ask on google. Another Charles
“Charles is the central character in the book, its narrator and the definer of its perspective. He is selfish, arrogant, manipulative, prone to self-delusion, simultaneously intelligent and unwise, a glutton and a self-indulgent sensualist.”
He has discovered his young love from his youth lives nearby and he tries everything to get her back. Her husband presents as a bully and Hartley as he knows her is terrified of the whole situation. I listen to it for 30 to 60 minutes daily while doing puzzles on my iPad. So relaxing. This book really has characters you love to despise but can’t stop listening as I want to know how it all ends.

I was going to go to the gym Thursday but had to take our cat Grizzy to the vet first thing so he could get a dental done. Turns out two of his molars are side by side instead of one in front of the other. Weird but not doing any harm so didn’t need an extraction. However he has been put on a diet. He is 8 yrs old and weighs almost 10 kgs. (22 pounds).
But he does have shiny clean teeth.

Got busy with one thing and another and didn’t get there. I decided to have a long weekend of catching up on things.
I moved my desktop into the spare room that has a long desk that is part of a wall bed when the bed is in the wall. Fold the bed down and the desk disappears under it. My photography gear and books are now in there. There is pretty good light. Meanwhile the little desk it was on in the bedroom is my diary/journal writing table with a few art supplies on it. It is a nice change and quite motivating.


Yesterday was spent at Mt Field national park with three friends. We enjoyed the walk and took more fungi photos but not as many there as in previous spots. However I saw a pink robin. I have wanted to see one of those ever since I heard of them and never have. However the woman I was with was so excited she screeched and scared it off. I told my sister today if she had been with me and did that I would have popped her on the head but guess you can’t do that to friends.

We had a good time, the weather people were wrong and the predicted showers did not arise. Just so beautiful.
Well another week has disappeared and onto a new one. Back to the gym soon.
Hope all of you have a good one!

Another busy week Pam and such lovely photos – I love the pink Robin, I don’t think we have them over here. The red ones are very friendly though.

A change is as good as a holiday they say, so I can imagine your liking your new arrangement of desks.
This “However the woman I was with was so excited she screeched and scared it off. I told my sister today if she had been with me and did that I would have popped her on the head but guess you can’t do that to friends” made me laugh. I’m not sure whether it’s a good or bad thing that we treat family differently like this!!
That pink robin is a stunner. I hope you see another one one day and get a great pic of it.

My sister and I have been teasing each other for 70 years but we did grow out of popping each other about 60 yrs ago😁 The robin was with us for a blink of the eye but at least I saw him.
